Adver Sport's Matt Edwards hands out his player ratings from Town's 2-2 draw at Rochdale this afternoon.
Will Henry 8*
A debut to cherish for the young goalkeeper. A nervy start was soon put behind him with a fine penalty stop and several other vital saves.
Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill 6
Moved to right-back, he made a good return to the team and set up the opener but let himself down with his late red card.
Raphael Branco 7
Solid at the back and his physical presence was needed against a Rochdale frontline not afraid to throw their weight around.
Worked his socks off for the side and made some important blocks and challenges. A clumsy foul to concede the penalty.
Jordan Turnbull 7
A good performance at the back as he dealt with the aerial threat well although was sometimes caught out in behind for pace.
James Brophy 6
Deserved to keep his place on recent performances and had a difficult afternoon trying to shackle Mendez-Laing but dealt with the task well.
Anton Rodgers 5
A forgettable performance at the base of midfield. He deserved a goal for his first half free-kick but was denied by a fine save.
Louis Thompson 6
Worked hard in midfield and put himself about a lot and that probably cost him in the second half when he picked up a second yellow for an overzealous challenge.
Michael Doughty 7
His cross for the second goal was asking to be headed home and the loanee showed the defensive side of his game to good effect.
Nicky Ajose 6
A quiet first half but came to life more in the second and saw a good free-kick hit the post before squandering a good opportunity that came about from his hard work.
Jonathan Obika 7
Took his goal very well when the game was only just getting going and held the ball up to good effect.
Subs
Jamie Sendles-White (On for Rodgers 83’) 6
Came on when defensive numbers were needed to protect the point and didn’t do too much wrong.
